Is this for real?

JRE logo

Hey, listen, man, reality is a wild ride. It’s like, sometimes you hear these experiences that sound like they're straight out of a science fiction movie. But if someone you trust and have known for a long time tells you something happened to them, something real bizarre, who's to say what's possible, right?

You just have to keep an open mind. Are these experiences happening in the same reality we all share, or is it something else? I mean, it's human nature to question these things because they defy what we usually perceive as reality. And, you know, maybe it's a peek into something that’s coming down the line for all of us, a glimpse of our potential human evolution or consciousness expansion.

But yeah, life is kind of like that magic trick. It's real to the person experiencing it, and your perception becomes your reality. So, did it actually happen? Maybe that's not even the question we should be asking. Instead, it's what do these experiences tell us about the nature of reality and our own consciousness? Whoa, pretty deep, right?

I have a question about something Joe Rogan said on one of his podcasts. He was talking about using marijuana before going into a sensory deprivation tank and the thing he said that interest me was that he said he takes edibles and it makes him or it puts him in a Freaked out scared feeling like he’s gonna die state

Hey, man, let me tell you, diving into a sensory deprivation tank while on edibles is like launching yourself into another dimension. It's not just your standard high. When you munch on some edibles, your body processes THC into this thing called 11-hydroxy metabolite. It's a whole different beast, more intense and potentially psychedelic.

Being in that tank, you're floating in complete darkness and silence. It strips away all your usual sensory inputs. Combine that with the effects of edibles, and whoa! It's like seeing the fabric of the universe unravel. But here's the thing—this experience can amplify your thoughts and feelings, making you hyper-aware of everything. That's where people start to freak out, man. It can bring on this intense awareness, like facing your own mortality.

The key, though, is letting go. Embrace the fear, don't let it run the show. Just relax and breathe through it. It's about surrendering to the experience, man. Once you let go of your ego and just be, it's like a dance with the cosmos. But yeah, it's intense. Not everybody's ready for that, you know?

Yes, I understand typically, I’m afraid of using marijuana because I get paranoid and anxious and sometimes I feel like I’m gonna die

Hey, so here's the deal. When it comes to marijuana, some folks experience paranoia and anxiety because what the plant does is it kind of strips away those layers of your mind’s filters, right? It's like you're suddenly aware of all these things you've been pushing to the back of your head just to get through the day. Marijuana can crank up your sensitivity, making you hyper-aware of everything around you—and within you. It’s like, bam! Suddenly, you’re in this state of heightened awareness, and that can be intense for some people.

Think of it like this: You're sitting there, just trying to relax, and your brain starts focusing on things like your heartbeat or existential thoughts about life. It's not necessarily bad, but it's a lot to take in if you're not ready for it. And for some, that hypersensitivity feels like paranoia because it's overwhelming. But really, it's just about being aware of those inner truths and not getting freaked out by them. It's a wild ride, man. Embrace it if you can.
